Meme from copperbadge

Come on, help drag me out of my crazy. Meme me, kids, meme me.

I love looking at people's icons, but I don't always *get* them - I often wonder stuff like, "Who's that guy?" or "Where's that quote from?" but I tend not to ask, for various reasons. So come on, here are my icons. Pick one (or more!) you're curious about, and I'll try to explain it. Or at least explain what I like about it.

Who is this young man and why is he wearing safety goggles and why do you want him to whisper and what is it that you want him to whisper?

This young man is Greg Sanders, one of my make-believe CSI boyfriends. He is wearing safety goggles because he used to work in a DNA lab doing sciencey type stuff and wearing a lab coat (hence my love for him - I have some lab coat .. issues), and therefore needed to protect his eyes from chemicals and suchforth. The words are from the song "Accidentally in Love" by Counting Crows, which was written for Shrek 2, but is sort of a Nick/Greg song for me (Nick is another chap from CSI. He is my other make-believe CSI boyfriend), so I put one lyric from the song on a Greg icon and another on a Nick icon. I want to hear him whisper because CBS won't let him shout about his omgwtfgaylove for Nick. <3 I would settle for more eye-fucking with Ecklie, who is his boss's boss. Kind of. Heh. *g*

Science guys. Sigh. God protect them. Goggles, protect them.

So, lemme get this straight: your two imaginary CSI boyfriends are also dating in your imagination? I wouldn't know ANYTHING about that. I would NEVER crush out on two fanon boys who are *obviously* madly in love with both each other. I mean, that would be like crushing out on Warren and Tucker! And that is just... well, inconceivable!

You picked:


This is art by Anne Taintor (http://annetaintor.com/), whose stuff appears in little shops/grocery stores here in Amurrica. She's hilarious, I think. Retro pictures with fridge magnet-like text over them. Obviously. Anyway, I made this one into an icon because of... well, because of roleplaying and fic and writing and reading. I've always liked Imaginary Men best. When I was a little grade schooler, I had this perfect boy in my head and no other real life boy would possibly ever equal him in awesomeness. I even had an acronym for him. MSBB. And no, I won't elaborate. He wasn't my first imaginary friend, but he was my first imaginary boyfriend.

There are many more, now. They are still so much fun. And they always keep me on my toes. Not in the same ways that my real-life man/men do, either. In COOL ways that always seem to end in completely planet-shattering sex.

I know. It's a sickness.

It's pretty, that one. I like it. I'm going to go check out that link when I've written this comment. Imaginary men are definitely best :)
